Tuesday night wasn't just one to remember for Sam Fender, after he picked up a Brit Award, it was also pretty special for his former schoolmate, Ben Hemsley after he was invited to DJ at an after show party.
Singer/songwriter Sam was the toast of North Shields earlier this week when he walked away with the accolade for Best Rock/Alternative act at this year's ceremony.
The 27-year-old and his band looked ecstatic as they headed on to the winner's rostrum to accept their trophy from Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood.
